[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 180688, member: 505"] Calm down WyomingShooter, Straightshooter get the 338 win mag and spend a few years enjoying it and learning how to shoot it well at elk within your accomplished range. No offense meant, but in my opinion you are not ready to even consider 1000 yard hunting. But after a few years with the 338 win mag you will be. Then you have the action to send to Shawn and get the edge. Will the 338 win mag take an elk out at a 1000 yards, yes. I have used it in a pinch to take a larger animal further than that. But when your ready for a 1000 yards just upgrade to a little more velocity. I wouldn't do the two barrel thing. Just get to know your first gun very well and when you feel your ready then upgrade and learn that one as well. [/QUOTE]
